Ferritin
28 µg/L
Your lab reportNormal. Labs usually flag ferritin only below 15.
The fuller pictureMany clinicians act below 30, especially with symptoms like fatigue or hair shedding.

Hi, I'm Elisa.
Your labs came back normal. Let's find out what they missed.
If you're trying to conceive and every result comes back "normal," single lab values and general advice can't tell you what is going on. I read your biology as one connected system and show you where to start.

Evidence you can checkEvery number comes with its source and an honest grade for how firm it is
Alongside your doctorNever instead of them. Education, not a diagnosis
Normal isn't the same as ready.
A reference range shows where about 95% of a tested population falls. It was built to flag disease. It was never designed to tell you whether your body is in a good position to conceive, or whether the right tests were taken on the right day.
TSH
3.2 mIU/L
Your lab reportNormal. Labs call TSH normal up to about 4.0.
The fuller pictureSome fertility clinicians use a more cautious 2.5, especially when thyroid antibodies are positive.

Vitamin D
24 ng/mL
Your lab reportNormal. Deficiency is usually flagged below 20.
The fuller pictureGuidelines disagree on whether "sufficient" starts at 20 or 30, so 24 sits right in between.

Examples, not a diagnosis. The lines are the ones described in the Journal, with their sources. Read the evidence behind it
Four systems. One usually leads.
Each has a studied effect on ovulation, egg quality or implantation. The free assessment shows which one is most likely leading yours.
Nervous System Regulation™
You feel wired but exhausted. Your sleep is light, you wake between 2 and 4am, and your period flattens you. When stress goes on for months, it can switch off the signal that starts ovulation.
What I look at
- Cycle and luteal phase lengthA short luteal phase or an irregular cycle is a real signal.
- Sleep patternLight sleep and waking between 2 and 4am point to a stress system out of balance.
- How your period leaves youDeep depletion afterwards tells me something too.
- Cortisol rhythmOptional: a saliva panel across the day, if you'd like the data.
Hormone Signaling™
Your cycle runs long, short or just feels off. You were told your thyroid and hormones are normal, yet ovulation seems weak or late. Small shifts here look normal on paper and still change how your cycle behaves.
What I look at
- TSH with free T3, free T4 and TPO antibodiesTSH alone misses antibodies and how well you convert thyroid hormone.
- Mid-luteal progesteroneTimed to your ovulation, it confirms you actually ovulated.
- FSH, LH and estradiol, day 2 to 4Read together as a pattern for how your cycle starts.
- AMH and prolactinOvarian reserve in context. High prolactin can suppress ovulation.
Metabolic Function™
Energy crashes after meals, cravings you can't explain, weight that won't shift. You don't have a PCOS diagnosis, yet mild blood sugar problems can disrupt ovulation long before anything reads as abnormal.
What I look at
- Fasting insulin with glucoseInsulin changes years before blood sugar does.
- HbA1cYour three-month blood sugar average.
- Triglycerides to HDLA simple ratio that can flag insulin resistance.
- hs-CRPLow-grade inflammation that can affect egg quality.
Nutrient Status™
Everything looks fine, but you're tired and sense your body is running on empty. The raw materials your eggs depend on can sit below the level that matters for fertility and still count as normal.
What I look at
- FerritinYour iron stores. They can run low long before anaemia shows up.
- Vitamin D (25-OH)Acts like a hormone in the ovary, and many people in central Europe run low.
- RBC folate and B12Building blocks a developing egg draws on.
- Omega-3 indexThe fats cell membranes are built from.

How it worksIn their words.
What women told me after taking the free assessment.
"After 14 months of trying with 'normal' test results, I finally understood where to focus instead of wondering what I was missing. For the first time, I felt like I had a real plan."
"I expected another generic fertility quiz. Instead, it connected symptoms I'd never linked before and showed me why I constantly felt depleted. It was the first time everything actually made sense."
"After hearing 'everything looks normal' for 18 months, this was the first thing that actually reflected how I felt. I finally stopped blaming myself and knew where to begin."
"I walked away with clear next steps instead of another list of things to try. The results felt incredibly personal, and surprisingly accurate."

I'm Elisa.
I'm a functional fertility coach and certified nutritionist. I read the body as one connected system and turn what it is signalling into a decision you can act on, always alongside your medical care.
This work grew out of my own experience, and out of watching too many women hear that everything looked fine when it clearly didn't. I trained clinically in Southern California, built my practice with women across the US and moved back to Germany in 2025.

"Information doesn't change outcomes. Interpretation changes decisions."Elisa Bayer
Questions women ask first.
My labs are "normal." Is this for me?
Yes, it was built for exactly that. I read your results with conception in mind, not only against the lab's "normal," so you can see where there is still room to improve.
Is this medical advice or a diagnosis?
No. It is an evidence-informed interpretation of your own signals, meant to be read alongside your provider and never instead of them. I don't diagnose disease, and I'm clear about where the evidence is settled and where it is still developing.
What do I get from the free assessment?
Your Primary Fertility Driver™, your Fertility Readiness Score™ and a short roadmap, with the reasoning behind each and what to look at first with your provider. It takes about three minutes.
What does it cost?
The assessment and the Lab Request List are free. Focused resources start at €9 and are matched to your driver. The Interpretation, where I read your bloodwork personally, is €197.
Who's behind it?
Me, Elisa Bayer. I'm a certified nutritionist and functional fertility coach, and I wrote the framework the assessment runs on.
Start with your interpretation.
The free assessment reads your signals across all four systems and shows which one is most likely leading your picture, with the reasoning behind it.
